The RTL8180L provides support for Advanced Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI), PCI power management system for modern operating systems that are capable of Operating System directed Power Management (OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power management possible. In addition to the ACPI feature, the RTL8180L supports remote wake-up (including AMD® Magic Packet and Microsoft® wake-up frame) in both ACPI and APM environments.

The RTL8180L keeps network maintenance costs low and eliminates usage barriers. Adopting a 0.18μm CMOS manufacturing process and packaged in a 128-pin LQFP, the RTL8180L features compact size and ultra low power consumption, providing the world's most competitive solution for design of WLAN applications.
